Rest-assured logging response on assertion failure

[mohan v]

Hi,

I would like to have response printed on assertion failure

I use the following code:

ResponseSpecBuilder responseSpecBuilder

Response  response

 responseSpecBuilder

                        .expectBody(property, equalTo(""somevalue))

                        .build()

                        .validate(response);

2.3.1 supports RestAssured.enableLoggingOfRequestAndResponseIfValidationFails();, but does nt help in above case

Any workaround  to have respone printted at least on failure

I alos get this errror in report

Was using  the following when I got error. Why does it need request specifcation

builder.build().log().ifValidationFails().validate(getScenario().getResponse());

java.lang.IllegalStateException: Cannot configure logging since request specification is not defined. You may be misusing the API.

Yes you are not using the API correctly in the last case. There's an issue for improving "enableLoggingOfRequestAndResponseIfValidationFails" when using specifications since specs currently override this behavior.

At the moment, I am trying to manually print request and response when it fails

Response can be printed using response.prettyPrint();

Is there anyway to print request using prettyPrint()  from request specification

I know given().all().log does the job, but I want individual response print  as mentioned above

[Johan Haleby]

Yes you can do log().all() after expect or then. For example:

when().get("/x").then().log().all(). .. // Pretty prints response.

To print the response only if it fails do:

when().get("/x").then().log().ifValidationFails(). ..

I wanted to pretty print was request  like  I have RequestSpecification and call any method on this obejct  to do equivalent of prettyprint

I wanted to something from cucmber

 @After

    public void afterScenario(Scenario result) {

          if (result.getStatus().equals("failed")) {

               RequestSpecification  requestSpecification =getRequestSpecification();

                log.info(" Reeuqtes failed was : " +requestSpecification.prettyprint() )

[Johan Haleby]

Then you can do:

given().log().ifValidationFails().when().get("/x"). ..

I guess I was not clear early. Let me re-pharse

Currently my framework everywhere uses   given().spec(requestSpec).expect().spec(responseSpec).get(relUrl);

ResponseSpecBuilder responseSpecBuilder= new ResponseSpecBuilder();

ResponseSpecification respSpec = responseSpecBuilder.expectBody(anything()).build()

Request is sent in one Step and Response Validfation is done  in another  Step  

Request is sent using the follolwing

given().spec(requestSpec).expect().spec(responseSpec).get(relUrl);

Respone validation is done by the following in another step

ResponseSpecBuilder builder =new ResponseSpecBuilder();

builder

  .expectBody("email", equalTo("someEmail"))

  .expectBody("title", equalTo("Some Title"));

  

/// Validate Response

builder.build().validate(getScenario().getResponse());  

In above Scenario When Validation is not done on given...  statement  as ResponsSpec expects anything(or response validation is not done)

the statement given.log().ifValidationFails().when().get("/x")  does not log when Validation Fails, It logs irrespective of validation, as Validation is never

done  in  given statement

So, In  a nut shull, when you use given().log().ifValidationFails().spec(requestSpec).expect().spec(responseSpec)

log().ifValidationFails()  is not effective as the logging is always done irrespective of result, and may be  also because  validation is done

in builder.build().validate(getScenario().getResponse());

This is probably related to issue 323.

[mohan v]

Yep. It looks same issue

Any idea, if it is going to be fixed in near future

[Johan Haleby]

Can't give any promises, but I'll look into when I find some time. You can of course also help out if you like by providing a pull request.
